We should tell the non-Madisonians about how some of the package stores here were giving away barbecue grills to people who bought 6 or more kegs for the block party; I think if you bought 12 or more, you got a free ambulance.

Now, I've treated my friends to a few kegs in the past, and I've had some very successful parties. But (and I hope it doesn't sound too cheap because I am a quite generous person), too personally pay for more than four kegs at a random block party while in college seems a little extreme (public school tuition or not).

I tried to steal a half keg from the local beer store when I was in college. I made it halfway down the block before the store owner spotted me and yelled. I had to ditch the keg and run. A few more waddling feet and I would have made it around the corner. What a heist that would have been!

I should, of course, mention that I was raised in a complete no-alcohol zone, but that we sang this song on all road trips (father went to Berkeley).

Yes, we belted out that song with glee, having no idea what "kegs" or "fifths" were. In fact, I think I was about 6 or 7 when I figured out that it was the CAL Drinking Song, not the COW Drinking Song. Before that, I was under the impression that it had something to do with milk.

WARNING: Do not try to have an unlicensed tavern out on your front lawn. If there's money to be made from selling drugs, the gov't wants in!
Also, Hooray for Fountains of Wayne ("Stacy's Mom" esp).
Thanks for the hug, Bangi.
